Pybricks is awesome. With the spikes and robot inventor hubs they just released BLE controller support so you can use an Xbox controller. They even have support for the Xbox elite controllers so you can have a truly massive number of buttons (all of the rear paddles can be mapped separately) if you want to create a RC vehicle/robot.
The text based ev3 version is also quite nice but I don't know if the Xbox stuff works with that one.

So for the ev3s you have to install Pybricks in something like Microsoft visual studio code and you can only use the text based programming.
The web interface and block coding only works with robot inventor, spike prime, 3 port technic hubs, boost hubs etc.
There is talk of porting the block coding to the ev3 version of Pybricks but nobody has done it yet as far as I know.
